We will meet up a little before hand to rehearse…those plans will be revealed here: http://www.meetup.com/Wine-Country-Ukulele-Meet-Up/ (If you haven’t already done so, I would encourage you to join our Meet-Up Group so you can stay informed about all the local ukulele happenings. It’ll also help us figure out how many Flea Jumpers will be there)
